It is therefore the primary purpose of this invention to provide a frame device which will include elongated strips which will befastened together at various points, so as to form a square or rectangular configurated frame.

Another object of this invention is to provide a frame of the type described which will have a plurality of legs for supporting the frame, the legsbeing secured is in any of the desired openings of the strips by means of a stud and wing nut fastener.

Another object of this invention is to provide a frame of which the strips will have openings which will be equally spaced apart for sporting the rug and the legs will be quickly detatachable therefrom for expiditing a new size or shaped frame for producing a desired rug pattern.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a frame device of the type described which maybe quickly disassembled for compact storage.

Other'objects of the present invention are to provide a quilting and beading frame which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efficient in operation.

These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:

The drawing is the sole view of the present invention.

According to this invention, a quilting and beading frame is shown to include spaced apart and elongated aluminum strips 11 and 12. The strips 11 and 12 are provided with a plurality of spaced apart openings 13, any of which may receive the threaded studs 14 of the leg 15.

It will be noted that frame 10 maybe secured together to form in dimension cable within the limitations of the length of the strip 11 and 12 and the ,strips are held firmly together by means of the studs 14 which are fixedly secured within one end of the legs 15. When a desired configuratiin is formed by the strips 11 and 12, the legs in combination with the studs 14 and the winged nut fastener 16 will serve to render the frame stationary. Each of the strips 11 and 12 are provided with a plurality of equal spaced apart openings 17 for supporting the rug 18 that is to be worked.

In use, rug 18 is formed in the usual hand weaving manner of the prior art and the size and shape of the frame 10 maybe changed quickly and easily by removing the nut fasteners 16 from the studs 14 of the leg 15, after which, the leg 15 maybe placed in any other desired position to form a desired frame shape configuration.

What I Now claim ls:

l. A quilting and beading frame for hand weaving, comprising in combination, a plurality of elongated strips one pair of said strips being positioned above another pair for forming frame means for quilting and beading, a plurality of four leg members carried by said frame with fixed stud means for rendering said strips stationary and elevated above the supporting surface, winged nut fastener means for securing said strips and legs firmly together, each of said strips including a row of a series of equally spaced apart openings therethrough for selectively receiving said studs, so that said legs may be located either at an end or any intermediate opening along said strip, said studs being externally threaded for receiving said .winged nut fasteners, said studs being secured fixedly in one end of said legs in a suitable manner, said studs and said winged nuts serving to secure said strips together, a second row of a series of openings along one end of each said strip of said frame providing passage means for cords of a rug that will be worked upon said frame, said legs and studs forming a means for changing a shape of said frame and accordingly a size and shape of said rug.
